The sister of a Jackson woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend on Glendale Street last month is now facing charges after police say she threatened a witness.

Sequena Pruitt, 26, is accused of calling a witness in the homicide of Kelset Price on June 21. In the call, the witness said Pruitt confronted her about talking to the police and said that she "had told the police too much" about Price's death and the involvement of Pruitt's mother, Vernetta.

Coercion of a witness is attempting to influence a witness or potential witness to a crime to give false information or withhold information from police through threats, intimidation, or offering money or favors to withhold information.
